2019. In the realm of contemporary art, few works capture the essence of technological mediation and its impact on our perception of reality quite like Florencia S.M. Brück’s latest installation. This thought-provoking piece comprises a simple yet deeply symbolic setup: an iPad displaying a video of pigeons foraging for food, juxtaposed with real pigeon food placed tantalizingly out of reach on a nearby table. This deceptively straightforward arrangement serves as a profound commentary on the nature of telestivity, time, and space in the digital era. At first glance, the installation draws the viewer into a moment of cognitive dissonance. The…

Connektome Project
Drawing inspiration from philosopher Byung-Chul Han’s exploration of fatigue in capitalist societies, this project delves into the pressing issues of burnout and the ensuing loss of meaning. As an interdisciplinary artist with a background spanning various practices, I meld the realms of art and technology, aiming to capture the tension inherent in the interplay between human cognition and artificial intelligence. This evolving collection began with interpretations in photography and magazines, and has since expanded to include 3D sculptures, immersive video narratives within virtual realms called “Metaverse Archaeologist”, generative art displays, and the transformative wave of NFTs. My ambition is to…

Every nine years, seven young men and seven young maidens were taken from Athens to the labyrinth to be sacrificed to the Minotaur…

Painting, Oil on canvas, Size: 47.2 W x 39.4 H in (120 W x 100 H cm). © 2014 Florencia San Martin Brück/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York The “clockwork universe theory” compares the universe to a mechanical clock wound up by God and ticking along, as a perfect machine, with its gears governed by the laws of physics. What sets this theory apart from others is the idea that God’s only contribution to the universe was to set everything in motion, and from there the laws of science took hold and have governed every…

Inside the Studio
INTERVIEW -What are the major themes you pursue in your work? I approach the canvas with no models in mind, connecting to chaos, which is the basis of creation, which manifests from something unique to formless nothing. I cast light on forms previously in the shadows of the unconscious. Once the chaos has unfolded its the sensibility and reaction to color and form that gives shape to the abstract journey.The making of art is formative in coming into consciousness — “awakening”. – DO YOU Prefer to work with music or in silence? Both. Music serves to stimulate desire just like…
